Mary and Frank

Mary Godwin -- soon to be Shelley --
Writing with Percy, Byron and Polidori
To create the scariest horror story,
Gave life to a monster of immortal glory.

Mary Shelley is someone who I admire very much. Not only for her talents, but the courage she had to become a female author of horror, and she did it when she was just 19 years old... I really enjoyed your tribute to her, Tom, and may her creation live on forever :) Great work!
